  • Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 20 September 2012] P6317c-6317C Mr Tony Krsticevic [1] CARINE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL S
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 20 September 2012] p6317c-6317c Mr Tony Krsticevic CARINE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL — FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY Statement by Member for Carine MR A. KRSTICEVIC (Carine) [12.52 pm]: Today I ask the house to recognise a noteworthy celebration in my electorate: the fortieth anniversary of Carine Senior High School. Carine Senior High School was founded in 1973, and during its illustrious 40-year history it has been served by only three principals. The inaugural principal was Mr Fred Marsh, serving for 15 years from 1973 to 1988. Mr Cesare Di Guilio then took the reins for a period of 13 years until 2002; the incumbent principal, Mr Paul Ganderton, assumed the role in 2003. Carine Senior High School enjoys an enviable reputation and members of the community, students and staff are proud of its academic achievements, high student retention rate and sporting prowess. The school has produced many notable sporting successes, including a current AFL team captain, Darren Glass from the West Coast Eagles; Gold Coast Suns coach Guy McKenna; Fremantle Football Club president Steve Harris; and Perth Glory captain Jamie Harnwell. Off the oval there have also been some extraordinary achievements, including Gold Logie–winning actress Lisa McCune and TV personality Jo Beth Taylor. Many others have made it into television, the music industry, state and national athletics, swimming, water polo, soccer, kayaking, surfing and gymnastics—the list goes on. As part of this year’s celebrations the performing arts centre held two concerts featuring both junior and senior ensembles, whilst the school production of The Wizard of Oz met with sell-out audiences and rave reviews.
